As much as I dislike Orange Man, and would like to praise Gibson here, this probably doesn’t have much, if anything, to do with politics… Gibson has spent the last decade suing fucking everybody over IP infringement. They’re particularly fond of going after small independent luthiers who don’t have the means to fight a giant corporation in court.
It’s part of Gibson’s multi-decade plan to cary out any wacky dumbass scheme they can think of to boost profits, just so long as it doesn’t involve them making high quality instruments again.

You have to vigorously defend trademarks or you lose them.

I don’t know what Gibson is so upset about, those guitars are representative of what Gibson is all about. Overpriced garbage that’s likely to break.
